Easter weekend set to be wet and windy

The current spell of fine weather is expected to end for the Easter weekend with the return of blustery and unsettled weather.

However, Ireland is expected to escape the worst of Storm Katie which is set to batter Britain.

However, we still face an Easter of heavy showers and blustery winds, with the south-east of the country the worst affected. Heavy rain is expected today and Easter Monday in most parts of the country.
